I for one was quite impressed with the ThermalRight Ultra 120. Performance wise, it stood tall above all else, with only the Noctua close by. The 120 even killed a beginner's water cooling kit. The incredibly low noise levels it puts out when paired with silent 120mm fans are great. And before you go thanking only the fans for that, those Coolink fans are the same ones we've been using on the Noctua for quite some time and the same fans on the Noctua did measure more loudly. With that in mind, it is safe to say that the unique fin design of the Ultra 120 helps to reduce noise significantly.
